Easter Eggs In The Instant Pot

If you have an Instant Pot, you may have already found out how handy it is for hard boiling eggs. But maybe you haven't thought about dyeing eggs in it as well! PPP Team Member Cheree spent the last week busily trying out all sorts of Instant Pot Easter Egg recipes – here's a traditional Easter egg dyeing method adapted for the Instant Pot. 🙂

Cheree here!

I was curious to see if you could really dye eggs the traditional way (with food coloring) in the Instant Pot. Turns out, you can!!

I'm so excited to share this with you because being new to the Instant Pot, I had no idea. Don't have an Instant Pot, no problem – you can use the dying steps with plain ole hard boiled eggs as well! 🙂

Instructions for How to Dye Easter Eggs in the Instant Pot

Supplies:

Eggs

Food Coloring

Vinegar

Ramekins

Instant Pot Trivet (this should come with your Instant Pot)

Instructions:

Place the trivet in the bottom of the instant pot and add 1 cup water.

Place an egg in each ramekin and add 10-12 drops food coloring and 3 tablespoons vinegar to each ramekin.

Fill ramekin with water to cover egg; repeat steps for up to 6 ramekins per batch.

Place ramekins in the instant pot (3 on the bottom and another 3 stacked on top).

Lock lid into place and use the manual high pressure for 5 minutes.

Allow the instant pot to natural release for 5 minutes.

Fill a large bowl with ice water.

Do a quick release for the remaining pressure and immediately place eggs into the ice bath for an additional 5 minutes.

Remove the eggs from the ice bath and allow to dry.

These were super easy! This technique has instant results just like traditionally dying eggs. If you prefer darker colors, you can let the eggs sit in the dye for a longer time. Be creative with mixing the food coloring to create some fun and unique colors! 🌷

EASY DIY GNOMES

Y'all, I can't even wait to share this little DIY Gnomes craft with you! I'm gonna be honest, I've never bought a gnome, made a gnome, had a gnome in my home (ha!), nothin…..but, I'm OBSESSED with these little fellas!

**Update – made this little fella for St. Patrick's Day and wanted to share with y'all because there are just SO many opportunities to make gnomes all year round!

I wanted to make mine for Valentine's Day (and of course got a really late start on it, yikes!). So, my fuzzy sock selection was very limited. 🙁 To save you time, go straight to Walmart for fuzzy socks (they were the only store in my area that still had a small selection).

How to Make the Easy DIY Gnomes

Add about 1 pound of rice to a jar and stretch the sock over the jar to fill (or use less rice if you don't want your gnome as chubby). 🙂 Secure a rubber-band around the top as pictured.

Next, take another fuzzy sock and place over your body until you are satisfied with how it looks. You can roll some of the top sock under to make it shorter if you prefer your hat smaller.

For the girl gnome, I cut 2 pieces of fur and hot glued it on along with the wood bead centered between the fur. For the guy gnome, I cut 1 piece of fur (eye balling it) so it would cover his bottom half from side to side. Then, hot glued his nose on in the center of his beard.

The fun part is embellishing the gnomes to give them personality. I hot glued a pom pom onto her hat and tied up her beard into pony tails! So cute! 💗

and just for kicks, I tied her hat in a few spots and added more pom poms.

I added a tad of blush to their sweet noses so they have a bit of a flushed look. 🤗

💜💜💜

Such a fun craft to do with the kids and can be used for any holiday or season by switching up the socks. Love that!!!

I've wrapped up a few for my fellas to give to their special gals and goodness, complete CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!

and….because the PPP Team is full of awesome creatives, we made this happy little printable for you to use as well!

You can wrap them up and give to your special Valentine with this simple Gnomes Valentine printable that can be printed off in color OR in black and white.

DIY WOOD BEAD GARLAND

I just love a good garland! Anyone with me??

This DIY wood bead garland has got to be the easiest and most versatile garland I've ever made. 🙂 (I mean – compared to the 3-hour Fall Paper Garland… whew! This one was a walk in the park!)

Honestly, this little garland can really fluff up your space. I love moving mine around when I get the hankering for changing out my decor.

Valentine White Trash Candy

This is typically a recipe I think about during the Christmas season, but it's really PERFECT for any seasonal holiday. So, Valentine's Day seemed like the perfect holiday to whip some up! 💗

Here's what you'll need to get started . . .

plus, a great use for the almond bark I snagged on clearance at Kroger 👇🏻👇🏻 – WHOOP!

measure out the ingredients – this 8 cup Pyrex measuring cup is awesome!

toss them all together in a ginormous bowl!

melt your almond bark (or use 2 packages of white morsels along with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil instead) – either way is FANTASTIC!

mix it all up….

then spread onto wax paper, add a few sprinkles and let cool 🙂

and try not to nibble, ha! 😜

package it up as fast as you can and give it away!!!

How to Make Valentine White Trash Candy:

Ingredients

6 cups Rice or Corn Chex Cereal

6 cups small pretzels

16 oz jar dry roasted peanuts

11 oz bag plan M&M's

24 oz almond bark (1 1/2 packages)

sprinkles (optional)

wax or parchment paper

Directions

Combine cereal, pretzels, peanuts and M&M's in a huge bowl.

Line 2 large baking sheets with wax or parchment paper. Or, spread a couple of large pieces on your countertop if they can tolerate a bit of heat.

Place almond bark in a large glass bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals until the almond bark is melted and very pourable.

Christmas Paper Garland

Y'all, I've been kind of obsessed with the idea of making this Christmas Paper Garland for a few months now!! When Laurie showed me this garland (similar to her Fall Paper Garland), I knew I had to make one for Christmas this year! 🙂

Here's what you'll need:

white pom poms (I used a garland I found for 50% off and took the pom poms off)

How to make the Christmas Paper Garland:

Start off by drawing a leaf to use as a template. I found an artificial leaf laying around that looked about the right size and traced it.

I found that the easiest way to make these was by using a trimmer to cut the scrapbook paper into 3” strips. Then stack them 2 at a time and lay the “template leaf” on the strip and cut them in an assembly line fashion. You'll need a ton, so just keep cutting! 🙂

This would be the perfect time to put on a good movie…… and get to cutting! 😉

Next, draw a line with the white pencil down the center of the leaf. It doesn't have to be perfectly straight, it will give your garland some character. Now, fold each leaf in half and throw them in a bowl for later.

To start the garland, cut off a 6″ piece of floral tape (you'll need to pull this to stretch it out to activate the sticky part of the tape). Wrap the first leaf stem onto the wire using the floral tape.

Wrapping it about 3 times worked pretty well for me. Add the next leaf … and the next … and so on … keep going, tearing off additional floral tape as needed.

After the garland was completed, I took 3 of the pom pom balls and hot glued them together to make berries (don't you just love the berries??).

I made about 11 of these berry bundles and then hot glued them onto the garland every few inches or so.

I was SO happy that I used the bendable wire, it gave me so many options to drape the garland on my mantle.

After playing around with my mantle, I decided to add a tiny red and aqua pom pom to the berries. This tied in my stockings and some of my bottle brush trees (which BTW I got last year after Christmas for 90% off )!

Those berries are just ADORABLE! 🤗

After adding the Joy sign I made last year, my mantle is complete and I REALLY do just love it!! ❤️

This is SO different from my usual Christmas mantel, but I'm really digging the simplicity of it! 🎄🎄

Looking for a bit more Christmas inspiration???

DIY Pumpkin Succulent Planter

I've been just a little (ok, a lot!) obsessed with making these DIY Pumpkin Succulent Planters over the past few weeks.

Pumpkins + Succulents = ❤️ (or Pucculents, ha!)

Seriously what's not to love???

Here's what you'll need to get started:

Pumpkins (any type will do, but pumpkins that are flatter on top work best) – I really like the heirloom or fairytale pumpkins for this project.

You can do this by filling your sink with water and adding a 1/2 cup bleach. Just splash them around so the whole pumpkin is covered with the mixture. This will preserve your pumpkins so they last a bit longer.

You can skip this step, just make sure to clean all the debris off the pumpkin before adding the moss.

How to Make a DIY Pumpkin Succulent Planter

Next, remove the stem and spray a small amount of the adhesive over the top of the pumpkin, gently adding enough moss to cover the top of the pumpkin. A 1/2″ of moss is perfect! 🙂

You'll want to do this outdoors as it's kinda messy.

Next, you actually take the succulent out of its pot and cut off the roots (I promise, it'll be ok!😊) Gently shake off the excess dirt so you have a clean stem to glue onto your pumpkin.

Finally, using tacky glue or hot glue (the succulents don't care) start gluing the succulents onto your pumpkin. I started with the taller ones first a little off center and then came down with the smaller plants to fill in the holes.

I loved the first one so much, I made a few others… 🧡

If you use between 5 or 6 succulents on each pumpkin it will help keep the cost down. My total per pumpkin was around $15.

Our local Kroger had a variety of succulents at decent prices, but buying flower pots with several groupings of succulents was really the best bargain. 🌵

Don't you just LOVE them??

The baby ones cost $3.50 to make and is such a sweet centerpiece if you're hosting Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving this year. 🙂

How to Care for Succulents

To care for your pumpkin succulent simply spritz the moss and the succulents with water once a week. Keep you pumpkin in indirect sunlight.

If you want to figure out how to plant succulents, I didn't do that with these pumpkins but you can if you're SUPER adventurous. Just carve out the pumpkin and set the succulents in a flower pot with good soil. Just add moss to cover the soil.

If you're wondering how long your succulents will live, with proper care these DIY Pumpkin Succulent Planters will last several weeks!!

Farmhouse Pumpkin Sign

I love a quick and easy craft! Especially when you have all the supplies on hand. This was the case with this Farmhouse Pumpkin Sign. 🙂

If you have 30 minutes to an hour to craft, you too can make this adorable sign too! 🙂

Supplies you'll need:

Wooden board – free from our scrap wood, but I've used these before and they are great!

How To Make Your Farmhouse Pumpkin Sign

Dry brush your board by adding a small amount of paint to your brush and going back and forth in a light motion over the board. Repeat this until you achieve the desired coverage. I let some of my raw board show through for a more distressed look. Let dry. This takes just a few minutes since your paint should be thin. I used Waverly ivory chalk paint.

Align the stencil to where your word is centered. I traced mine with a pencil to make sure I was pleased with the placement. For the “O”, I turned the stencil sideways so my pumpkin would be wider.

4th of July Decorations

Hey guys, Cheree' here! I just love to fluff up my home a bit as the different holidays roll around. This year I added a couple of frugal 4th of July Decorations that are so easy and fun to make. 🌟

The first one is this Star Wreath. The idea came to me to use paint sticks as my “star” and when I got to Home Depot and found out they had 5 gallon paint sticks, I knew I was on the right track.

Bigger is always better, right???? 🙂

DIY 4th of July Decorations – Star Wreath

Here are the supplies you'll need to make this Star Wreath:

5 paint sticks – you can use the normal size, 5 gallon size, or for a ginormous star, try using wooden yardsticks – these are $.98 for a pack of 3 of the bigger size, so you'll need 2 packs. Or you might be able to nicely ask and get them for free. I used the 5 gallon sized ones.

Stain or paint (and brushes)

Metal or wooden star (or some other fun decoration to hang from the middle of your star)

Red, white and blue berries (I took apart a garland and that worked great)

Directions for making your 4th of July Decorations – Star Wreath:

Stain or paint your paint sticks (I stained mine with some leftover stain we had from our front door). But, I think it would be really cute to use red, white or blue chalk paint. Let dry.

Assemble your paint sticks into a star shape. I started with the tops overlapping like a teepee, added the cross bar and then finished it off with the last two pieces to complete the star. Just make sure all of your little triangles are about equal size and you have a sort of pentagon in the middle and you'll be good to go.

Carefully add a dollop of glue underneath each point. Clamp into place and let dry. I found some mini clamps my husband had and I used some chip clips as well and those worked great.

Tie your little metal or wooden star to hang in the middle. I painted a metal star I found from the Dollar Tree on my first one, but ended up gluing a cute wooden star from Hobby Lobby on my second star. I also added a few ribbons to my star for some fun color.

Hot glue your berries in sort of a fan like fashion and adjust them as needed until you get it the way you like.

I glued one of my stars to a really cute ship-lap board my sweet hubby made me and hung another one from a ribbon on my back door using a command hook.

This was the one I made on facebook live here:

This is the one I made after the star from the facebook live dried..

The fairly lights added such a whimsical touch to this star! I just love it! 😍

I was super pleased with how they turned out. There are just endless ideas for how to decorate your star. I really even loved it just plain. I'm planning to make some of these around Christmas as well. I think those could be super cute! 🌟

DIY 4th of July Decorations: Kids Firecracracker Craft

If you have bored kiddos at home this summer, this next craft will be something fun to keep them entertained for a bit. These Firecrackers use supplies you might already have on hand.

Here are the supplies you'll need to make these 4th of July Decorations – Firecrackers:

Directions for making your 4th of July Decorations – Firecrackers:

Trace the opening of your cylinder to make a circle, cut it out and cover with mod podge. While it is wet, poke a small hole in the center for your wick. Carefully press on top of your firecracker and let dry.

Cut a small piece of twine (for the wick) and cover with mod podge. Wrap twine around a pencil and let dry. When dry, carefully poke it into the center of your firecracker.

Other alternatives for the middle of the firecrackers are sparkly picks, berries, sparklers, etc.

Strawberry Pretzel Salad

Note from Laurie: my friend Cheree makes this AMAZING Strawberry Pretzel Salad, and I can't wait to try it myself! I'll be honest, I've never quite successfully made this one (I've had a few flops along the way . . . ), so I can't wait to try letting the gelatin cool completely before assembling. Excited to try it!

Strawberry Pretzel Salad Recipe

This recipe is definitely a LOVE/HATE relationship. 🙂

I LOVE all it's deliciousness, but boy, it can sure test your patience and slide you right over to the HATE side!

However, I think I have discovered the key to making a perfect (well, almost perfect)… Strawberry Pretzel Salad.

You need to let your gelatin cool before assembling. Just let it hang out on the counter while you are working.

So, there you have it.

(but don't hold me to it if your Strawberry Pretzel Salad ends up like so many of mine have and slides right off the plate).

Here's what you'll need to get started…

Strawberry Pretzel Salad

Ingredients

2 ½ – 3 cups crushed pretzels

1/2 cup melted butter

3 Tbsps plus 1 cup sugar

1 (8-oz) pkg cream cheese, softened

1 (8-oz) container whipped topping, thawed

1 (6-oz) pkg strawberry gelatin

2 cups boiling water

1 lb pkg fresh strawberries, sliced

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

For the crust, mix pretzels, 3 Tbsps sugar and butter together. Press into the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Bake 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

In a small bowl, mix gelatin and boiling water together. Set aside and allow to cool slightly.

In a mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth. Fold in whipped topping until combined. Spread over cooled crust. Refrigerate until chilled.

Natural Dyed Easter Eggs In The Instant Pot

I hope you've been enjoying all these Instant Pot Easter egg experiments this week! This is one of my FAVORITES that Cheree has tried for us this week – naturally dyed Easter eggs!

Cheree here!

If you have been following our posts this week, you know I have been having an “eggcellent” time trying different methods of dying Easter eggs in the Instant Pot ! 🙂

Our next method was really cool. If you have never dyed eggs using natural ingredients, I definitely suggest trying a few of these. The red cabbage, avocado and turmeric eggs were my favorites! Who knew that avocado skins turn red???

Don’t have an Instant Pot, no worries – this method works great on the stove top as well! Scroll down for stove top instructions!

In the perfect world, you could boil your eggs in your ingredients right in the Instant Pot and all the stars would align and the eggs would turn the perfect color. I tried this with the red cabbage…

But, unfortunately that is not the case. So for this one you will need a bit of patience (trust me it's worth it). I had a rainy Saturday so it was a great day to test these out!

Instructions for Natural Dyed Easter Eggs In The Instant Pot

Ingredients you'll need (these are what I used)

Blueberries

Turmeric

Coffee

Avocado

Red Cabbage

Green Tea

Red Cherries

Yellow Onions

White vinegar

These are the ingredients that I tried, but use your imagination and try some foods you have on hand. You might just be surprised! I know I was. 🙂

Instructions

The instructions are a bit different for each ingredient, so here is a list of what worked for me.

Blueberries: Cook 1 package of frozen blueberries (or fresh) with 8 cups of water in your instant pot. I did mine on high pressure for 10 minutes, natural released for 10 minutes and then quick release. To cook the eggs, add 1/2 cup vinegar to the blueberry mixture. Add trivet and eggs. Cook 5 minutes on high pressure, natural release 5 minutes, then quick release. Strain to a bowl and let the eggs soak until they reach the desired color. These will turn from light purple to a deep plum the longer they soak.

Turmeric: Add 8 tablespoons turmeric, 8 cups water and 1/2 cup vinegar to instant pot. Add trivet and eggs. Cook 5 minutes on high pressure, natural release 5 minutes, then quick release. Strain to a bowl and let the eggs soak until they reach the desired color. These turn from a light yellow to a deep maze yellow the longer they soak.

Coffee: Brew 8 cups strong coffee. Add coffee to instant pot along with 1/2 cup vinegar. Add trivet and eggs. Cook 5 minutes on high pressure, natural release 5 minutes, then quick release. Strain to a bowl and let the eggs soak until they reach the desired color. These will give you some awesome dark brown eggs!

Avocado: Cook skins of 2 avocados with 4 cups of water in your instant pot. I did mine on high pressure for 10 minutes, natural released for 10 minutes and then quick release. To cook the eggs, add 1/2 cup vinegar to the avocado mixture. Add trivet and eggs. Cook 5 minutes on high pressure, natural release 5 minutes, then quick release. Strain to a bowl and let the eggs soak until they reach the desired color. This color is AMAZING! These will turn almost a salmon red, just gorgeous!

Red Cabbage: Cut cabbage into strips. Add cabbage, 8 cups of water and 1/2 cup vinegar to your instant pot. I did mine on high pressure for 10 minutes, natural released for 10 minutes and then quick release. I tried to cook the eggs in this mixture and it just didn't work. This one works better to use hard boiled eggs (made in your IP) and let soak until they reach the desired color. The longer these soak the more vividly blue they become. The ones that I did boil with the cabbage did pick up a texture that was cool to see come out as they soaked.

Green Tea: Brew 8 cups strong green tea. Add green tea to instant pot along with 1/2 cup vinegar. Add trivet and eggs. Cook 5 minutes on high pressure, natural release 5 minutes, then quick release. Strain to a bowl and let the eggs soak until they reach the desired color. These will go from a light yellowish green to a deeper greenish/brown color.

Red Cherries: Cook 1 jar red cherries with 8 cups of water in your instant pot. I did mine on high pressure for 10 minutes, natural released for 10 minutes and then quick release. To cook the eggs, add 1/2 cup vinegar to the cherry mixture. Add trivet and eggs. Cook 5 minutes on high pressure, natural release 5 minutes, then quick release. Strain to a bowl and let the eggs soak until they reach the desired color. These will range from pink to dark pink the longer they soak.

Yellow Onions: Cook the skins from 4 large yellow onions with 8 cups of water in your instant pot. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes, natural release 10 minutes and then quick release. To cook the eggs, add 1/2 cup vinegar to the onion mixture. Add trivet and eggs. Cook 5 minutes on high pressure, natural release 5 minutes, then quick release. Strain to a bowl and let the eggs soak until they reach the desired color. These will turn a burnt orange/tan color.

Stove top Instructions

For vegetables and fruits: Boil veggies or fruit in 8 cups water for 20 minutes or until cooked down. Let cool and strain. Add 1/4 cup vinegar to the mixture along with hard boiled eggs. Refrigerate and let the eggs soak until they reach the desired color.

Coffee and tea: Go ahead and brew; cool and add 1/4 cup vinegar and hard boiled eggs. Refrigerate and let the eggs soak until they reach the desired color.

Spices: Heat 8 cups of water and add 8 tablespoons spice and 1/4 cup vinegar. Cool and add hard boiled eggs. Refrigerate and let the eggs soak until they reach the desired color.

I love, love, love this idea if you have kiddos at home who enjoy being in the kitchen or love to do science experiments! Plus, because you are using all natural ingredients, these are completely safe to eat. 🙂

These eggs are just GORGEOUS!!!

A fun idea is to let the eggs soak at different intervals and see how the colors change. Do them for 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, etc. You will get some awesome shades! 🙂

How to Dye Easter Eggs with Silk Ties (In the Instant Pot!)

Looking for a new way to dye Easter Eggs this year? PPP Team Member Cheree spent the last week busily trying out all sorts of Instant Pot Easter Egg recipes – in this one she shows us how to use silk ties (or scarves) to dye Easter eggs in the Instant Pot. 🙂 I love these – they have a bit of Farmhouse charm!

Cheree here!

Have you ever heard of the silk tie-dyed Easter egg dying method??? This was new to me and maybe it is to you too…

I've been testing out several methods of dying Easter eggs in the Instant Pot this week. So, when I saw this idea over on Pinterest, I was definitely intrigued and wanted to see how it would work in the Instant Pot.

Oh My Stars, the results were AMAZING!!!

Don't have an Instant Pot, no worries – this method works great on the stove top as well! Scroll down for stove top instructions!

I was fortunate enough to have a friend who recently retired and needed to “retire” some ties as well, haha! 🤗

This would also be a fun outing to search thrift stores for the ugliest ties (those make the best designs). 🙂

Instructions

Bundle the tie square tight around the egg (making sure the most vibrant side is against the egg) and secure with a twist tie. (I cut some chenille stems and used those)

Next, do the same thing with the t-shirt squares.

Place the trivet in the instant pot and carefully add your wrapped eggs.

Cover with water until the eggs are completely covered and add 1/2 cup vinegar.

Lock lid into place and use the manual high pressure for 5 minutes.

Allow the instant pot to natural release for 5 minutes. Fill a large bowl with ice water while the instant pot is releasing.

Do a quick release for the remaining pressure and immediately place eggs into the ice bath for an additional 5 minutes.

Remove the eggs from the ice bath and carefully remove the fabric.

Enjoy and be surprised by the beautiful designs!

Stove top Instructions

Follow wrapping directions above and place the wrapped eggs in a large stockpot. Fill with water 2 inches above the eggs. Add 1/4 cup vinegar. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes. Carefully remove eggs with tongs and lay on paper towels. Let cool to room temperature and unwrap. Store in the refrigerator until you are ready to display your beauties!

Unwrapping the eggs is a big surprise

every

single

time…

This was seriously so cool!

WOWZA!!!

It was so interesting and fun to open each bundle to see what you would get – like eating a box of chocolates, ha! 🙂

Have I said that this is COOL?!?! Even my engineer husband was impressed! 🙂

I read that you can apply some type of acrylic coating to the eggs so you can keep them from year to year. I skipped this, but would love to hear if any of you have done this and if it works. I have had mine out a few days and they are doing just fine!

I'm really digging the farmhouse vibes that these eggs have.

DIY HOOP WREATH

Note from Laurie ~ I absolutely LOVE this wreath and brought the supplies home to make one myself (since the wreath made up wouldn't fit in my suitcase on the flight home!) I'm so thankful for such a sweet group of ladies to work with every day, and absolutely adore this cute craft we made together!

Laurie and I thought it would be so fun for our whole PPP team to do a group craft when we were recently all together in Nashville. (This was the very first time for some of us to meet and we had soooo much fun, ate waaaay too much chocolate and stayed up much toooo late!)

Anyway, we needed something that could be made quickly and with minimal supplies. 🙂 So, when Laurie mentioned she had been wanting to make a DIY Hoop Wreath, I thought that would be the perfect project for our sweet PPP team.💗

Instructions:

Spray paint your ring and wording in any color you choose. We used gold for the hoop and glitter gold for the words.

Cut your greenery into desired lengths and lay on your wreath (moving them around until you get the look you want). We all kind of went for the asymmetrical look with our wreaths.

Next cut some floral wire or sticks into about 3 or 4 inch pieces.

Start wiring your greenery onto your ring, wiring as needed every few inches. Tip: wire your greenery on one side and then go ahead and find your ending spot and wire your greenery where the greenery (not stems) are facing out on the other side. Continue until you meet in the middle. Depending on which type of greenery you use, you may need to clip a few pieces and hot glue them to cover your stems and wire for a more finished look.

Decide how far down you want your word to hang and cut the fishing line to the desired length. Attach your word to the hoop by tying on the fishing line using small knots. Cut away excess fishing line after you tie your knots.

Finally, add a piece of ribbon to use for hanging your wreath. I attached mine to my back door using a command hook at the very top of the door and letting my wreath hang from it.

As you can see, everyone's wreaths are a bit different. This DIY Hoop Wreath really has endless possibilities to customize to your personal taste.🌺

We all ADOREhow Shannon's turned out! I mean seriously, that is one cute wreath and even cuter kiddo! Shannon surprised her daughter Faith with her own personalized “faith” wreath and she was thrilled! 😍

This ended up being a really great group project! I feel so very grateful to be a part of such a sweet bunch! We figured our total cost per wreath was about $7 and that made our penny pinching hearts happy! 🙂

Jamie decided to put a different spin on hers with a St. Patrick's Day theme. How cute is that?? I sent her home with another wooden word so she can change it out after the holiday. Such a fun idea!

I just LOVE how all the girls on the PPP team put their own unique style on their wreath. We had so much fun making this DIY Hoop Wreath!

Note from Laurie: my friend Cheree has been at it again, and I LOVE her cute (easy!) DIY Valentine ideas! Take a peek . . .

I wanted to fluff up my home a bit for Valentine's Day this year and just had to share with you these 3 Quick and Easy Valentine DIY Crafts that each take about 30 minutes (or less) to make! Yay! 🙂

2. Pom Pom Garland

1 inch pom poms (I used 3 colors, but you could use 2 or more for your desired look) 🙂

Instructions

Cut your twine to the desired length. I did mine about 7-8 feet because I wanted it to swag from my mantle.

Thread your needle with the twine and make a knot at the end.

Carefully weave your needle through the pom poms and alternate the colors. I added a white pom pom between my colors for interest and also left about 1 inch between each color.

When you have it to the length you want, knot the other end and adjust your pom poms.

The heart garland was a bit of an afterthought. I had gotten a bundle of felt hearts from Target for $3 and some mini clothespins on clearance at Michael's for $0.77. I used the leftover twine and just clipped them on a couple inches apart. I think it turned out pretty cute! 🙂

The garlands were less than $4 each! 🤗

3. Pom Pom Pillow Covers

I saw this Love pillow over at Pinterest and thought it was just adorable.

Write out the word Love (or I think XOXO would be super cute as well).

Starting at the beginning of the word, carefully hot glue your pom poms over your tracing. Continue until the whole word is filled. So easy!

I really “LOVE” this one! 💕

and because I had leftover pom poms from my garland I decided to do another pillow cover of a heart! For this one, I made a template of a heart out of posterboard. ❤️

I traced it onto the pillow and then hot glued the pom poms on one color at a time following the same steps as above. 👆

So, so fun!!!

These pillow covers costs me about $5 each to make (of course I used the 40% off coupon at Hobby Lobby). So, for about $22 I have some really cute Valentine decor that I can reuse for several more years!

DIY Dollar Tree Candy Jar

Note from Laurie: My friend Cheree created this DARLING Dollar Tree Candy Jar, and I just love it! Thanks so much for sharing Cheree ~ I can't wait to make this one myself!

I've seen several variations of this cute candy jar over at Pinterest, so when a friend also shared it with me, I thought I would give this one a try! You should be able to find most of the supplies at your local Dollar Tree or Walmart.

Here are the supplies you'll need to make the DIY Dollar Tree Candy Jar:

This craft was so easy and is super flexible to be able to change with the different holidays or seasons. 🎄💟

There are just so many possibilities! I think gumballs would look adorable as well! 🙂 My father in law was a pastor and he always had a gumball jar on his desk, so this got me thinking that this would be a thoughtful gift for a pastor, secretary or teacher. I love that! ❤️

I would love to see your DIY Dollar Tree Candy Jar! If you decide to give it a try leave a picture in the comments! 🙂

Note from Laurie: My friend Cheree made this GORGEOUS pinecone wreath, and I just love that she shared it with us! Here's what she did . . .

DIY Winter Pinecone Wreath

I saw a darling flocked pinecone wreath in a store recently, but it was $50!! I was sooooo tempted by it, but I just couldn't bring myself to spend that much.

So, I started collecting pinecones……

and collecting…….

and collecting. 🙂

Here are the supplies you'll need to make a DIY Winter Pinecone Wreath:

You might need garden gloves if your pinecones are particularly prickly and some small clippers in case you need to trim some of the pinecones.

Directions for making your DIY Winter Pinecone Wreath:

The first thing you will need to do is to collect your pinecones. Ask your friends and neighbors if they have any pinecone trees. I found that people will gladly let you come and clean up the pinecones out of their yard, haha!

You will need the smaller pinecones for this project, so keep that in mind when you are scoping out where to get your free pinecones.

Gather a ton of pinecones and once you think you have enough, gather more!!! You will need them I promise!

I did end up buying 2 little bags of the smaller pinecones from Michael's that were $3 each. I happened on 2 more bags after Christmas at Target that were 90% off making them just $.50 each! Score!! Those had some larger ones in them too that I can use later. I may or may not be hoarding pinecones over here!

Now, you will need a bit of patience for this part. If you find bugs in your pinecones, bake those critters right out on a foil lined cookie sheet in a 200 degree oven for about an hour. Let them cool and hang out for a day or so.

Finally, start the wreath! Take your ribbon and completely wrap it around your wreath form. I intended to use some burlap, but got the wreath halfway wrapped and ran out, yikes! But, fortunately I had some “linen type” ribbon leftover from Christmas that worked perfectly! Just hot glue or use some long straight pins to secure the ribbon.

At this point, I actually added another piece of long ribbon that the wreath will hang from.

Now, the fun begins ~ fiire up the glue gun and start adding your pinecones! Once you add a few, you will see that it is really like a puzzle where as you keep adding, they fall into place. I did the front and middle section first, saving the outside for last so it was easier to manage. You will definitely have to be a bit creative near the end to complete the bottom section. I was so glad I added the tie since I ended up hanging it and sitting on the floor to finish off the bottom!

I absolutely loved how it turned out in it's natural state! Honestly, I almost kept it this way and really went back and forth on whether to flock it or not! You can definitely stop here and leave it natural and it will be gorgeous!

But…..

I WENT FOR IT!

In the end, the pretty winter-white is what I wanted for my January decor so I went with the DIY WINTER pinecone wreath after all 🙂

I actually hung this baby from a tree outside and lightly sprayed several coats of the flocking spray until it was covered in snowy goodness!

I spent about $15 for my wreath, and I think it is just as pretty or even prettier than the one I originally saw that was $50!

OH MY GOODNESS, I just love, love, LOVE it all snowy and sparkly!! 🙂

I think this DIY Winter Pinecone Wreath is a perfect addition to my winter decor, and you really can make it on a penny pinched budget.

9 of the BEST Instant Pot Thanksgiving Recipes

Note from Laurie: My friends Cheree and Staci pulled together this amazing list of Instant Pot Thanksgiving recipes and I thought it was such an amazing idea ~ I loved that they pulled together some of the PPP teams favorite recipes, and can't wait to try these out myself too.

We thought it would be so fun to come up with some simple side dishes prepared all in the Instant Pot to make your Thanksgiving dinner a winner and relieve some stress too!

So, PPP team member Staci has been super busy testing out recipes in her Instant Pot for us and I think you'll be thrilled with the results. Here are the 9 Instant Pot Thanksgiving recipes she tested out on her family to make sure they were easy, tasty and holiday-worthy too. 🙂

Instant Pot Thanksgiving Recipes

This cornbread dressing is a Thanksgiving favorite from PPP team member Staci's family . . .

Momma’s Cornbread Dressing

Ingredients

1 recipe of cooked cornbread (best from an iron skillet) – my grandmother, Momma, always said to use the recipe right on the Martha White cornmeal bag.

1 cup celery, chopped

1 onion, chopped

½ cup butter

1 ½ cups chicken broth

1 tsp sage

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp pepper

Instructions

Crumble cornbread into a large mixing bowl.

Cook celery and onion with butter in a skillet until thoroughly cooked. Add to the cornbread.

Add all ingredients to the cornbread and mix well.

Place into a 6 cup bundt pan and cover with aluminum foil poking a hole where the hole is in the bundt pan.

Pour 1 cup water into Instant Pot.

Make aluminum foil sling for the bundt pan and lower into Instant Pot and onto trivet.

Welove our cornbread dressing down here in the south, but also included a savory stuffing recipe for you stuffing lovers too. 🙂

Savory Bread Stuffing

Ingredients

1 ¼ cups chicken broth

½ cup butter

1 cup chopped celery

1 medium onion, chopped

1 loaf bread, cubed and toasted

2 tsps salt

1 tsp sage

¼ tsp pepper

Instructions

Cube and toast bread. Use a pizza cutter to cut the bread into ½-inch cubes. Place on a cookie sheet and bake 20 minutes at 350°F. Stir at 10 and 15 minutes. Place in a large bowl to cool.

Cook vegetables. Place butter, celery and onion in a skillet. Melt and sauté until vegetables are cooked through. Add chicken broth, salt, sage and pepper and stir well. Pour over the bread cubes and mix well. Stuff into a 6 cup bundt pan. Cover with aluminum foil poking a hole in the middle where the hole of the pan is.

Pressure cook. Pour 1 ½ cups of water into the Instant Pot. Place the trivet into the bottom. Make a foil strip sling and use it to lower the bundt pan into the pressure cooker. Fold the strips of the sling down so that they do not bother the closing of the lid. Lock the lid into place. Cook on high pressure for 15 minutes. Use a quick release. Carefully remove the lid when ready.

Remove the bundt pan and flip it over onto a sprayed baking sheet. Cook in a 350°F oven 5-10 minutes to crisp up the stuffing.

Of all the recipes we tried, I this one was the most surpring (and fastest!) recipe. This cranberry sauce pretty much takes center stage!

Sweet & Tangy Cranberry Sauce

Pressure cook the cranberries: Combine orange juice and honey. Pour into the Instant Pot. Place 10 ounces of cranberries into the pressure cooker. Close lid and pressure cook at high pressure for 1 minute. Let the pressure natural release and do not do the quick release. Open lid carefully.

Make the cranberry sauce: Turn the heat to medium (Instant Pot- click cancel and sauté button). Using a wooden spoon, stir and break the cranberries. Add in sugar and remaining cranberries. Stir and the heat will melt the sugar to form a thick cranberry sauce. Add a pinch of salt.

Serve warm or chilled.

We were so surprised to get the taste of southern styled green beans with this recipe ~ they truly taste like they have been cooking all day on the stove top!

Easy Farmhouse Christmas Sign

Note from Laurie: my friend Cheree made this DARLING sign for Christmas and I'm completely obsessed with it! Here's how you can make it too.

Piece your shiplap together (you'll need to cut off one end where the shiplap has a little tongue groove so the board will be even).

Turn it over and place your 1 x 2 inch pieces evenly across the back and start nailing. Be sure to hold the board tightly together so it will be straight.

Next, give your board a good 2 coats of chalk paint (or acrylic or whatever type you prefer). I used some chalk paint in an ivory color that I already had on hand.

Learn from my mistake here and wax or dry brush on a darker color at this point BEFORE you stencil on your J and Y.

Trust me on this (especially if you are using wax). Wax and acrylic paint do not mix, just fyi! I used dark wax I had leftover from another project.

I made my own stencil letters out of poster board and it worked ok, but not great. I ended up having to really clean up my letters after I stenciled them. (I wonder if a Silhouette Cutting machine would come in handy for those letters???)

For the wreath, I happened upon a piece of grapevine on clearance at a local decorating store. You might be able to find something similar at the Dollar Tree. I really LOVE this little wreath, it just makes me happy!

I cut the grapevine and formed it into a circle and hot glued in a cute Christmas pick I found at Hobby Lobby. I wired on a simple bow and an adorable jingle bell ornament, hammered in a small nail and hung the wreath.

I'm just tickled with how this Easy Farmhouse Christmas Sign turned out!

Note from Laurie: My friend Cheree put together this super cute fall wreath. Such a fun way to fluff up your front door for fall, and you can swap it out with other colors of ribbon and decor for other seasons of the year!

I have wanted to make a deco mesh fall wreath for a long time, but honestly, I was a bit intimidated. Then a sweet friend showed me how and it was much easier than I anticipated!

Here are the supplies you'll need to make a DIY Fall Deco Mesh Wreath:

Next, take all 3 of your 9 inch deco mesh strips and sort of roll them inward and stack together. Don't stress over this part, it is so forgiving once you start adding all the deco mesh to the wreath.

Place your rolled pieces in the center of the chenille stem and tightly twist the stem to secure the mesh. Repeat until the whole wreath is filled.

My wreath wasn't as full as I wanted, so I made 4 bows out of some cute wired ribbon I had on hand. I just randomly placed those where the wreath sort of looked bare. You could use something similar to this.

Now, cut all of your chenille stems off being careful to not cut too close to the deco mesh or it might unwind. I suggest using wire cutters for this if you have them.

Next, add a fun floral stem if you want. Be sure to secure it with some hot glue so it will stay put!

Finally, add a cute sign or monogram.

I was able to weave a chenille stem through my sign and secure it to the wire wreath.

This was such a fun wreath!! I'm so excited because there are so many cute ideas using deco mesh and now I know it's really not all that hard. If you make a similar fall wreath I'd love to see your pictures ~ share them on the PPP Facebook page when you're done!

MEXICAN STREET CORN RECIPE

Note from Laurie ~ my friend Cheree made this Mexican corn, and goodness, it looks fabulous! Here’s how you can make it too . . .

My husband and I were in Atlanta a few weeks ago and had Mexican Street Corn for the first time at a restaurant in midtown. It was fabulous!

So, this week we were sitting down to dinner and eating our first corn-on-the cob of the season and started telling our son about that wonderful corn in Atlanta. I asked Luke, who’s 17 and growing up waaaay too fast, if he’d ever had that type of corn.

He hadn’t had it, but said he’d heard of it. He was like, you know, from the movie Nacho Libre. Well, this started a crazy conversation where my husband says that I should write a cookbook on foods from movies and tv shows. You know, Nacho Libre, Aunt Bea, etc…….. But, that’s a whole other conversation!!!

Anyway, this got me craving that corn, so I did a quick search on Pinterest. Lo and behold what did I find, but Nacho Libre Mexican Street Corn. I was cracking up and knew I totally had to try it!
